Hump Day

It's Hump Day for some, not for Federal workers, not for soy boys living in Mom's basement, and not for retired folks. We retired early - back in 2007.  Good thing we did. We enjoyed over 10 years of traveling in our RV until health issues shut that down.

This is what passes for excitement around here these days. The freezer drawer was left slightly open. It was 29 degrees when we discovered it, but the ice in the tray had started to melt and puddled on the floor of the freezer and the floor of the kitchen. The melted ice froze and made opening the door difficult. What to do?

For a reason that doctors can not explain, bending over quickly tires me. I am anemic from Leukemia and Long Covid. So it's a triple punch. I have always been a Do It Myself guy, so I resisted calling our appliance guy.

I got four coolers and froze a dozen ice packs to put the food in while I removed ice. This went quickly, but I was panting heavily, close to passing out.

I felt some sense of accomplishment, but I was toast the rest of the morning.

Exciting huh?

I need a PA - like this gal. She would look a lot better than I on her knees, pounding ice with a hammer.

Kiss those green trees goodbye

Thanks for all the good wishes for Bacall. We understood that recovery from knee surgery was quick. Wrong. It's been nine weeks, and she is still on pain pills. [Her last script] She is still not comfortable transferring from a walker to a cane. But she is doing better this week. I can tell in several ways. One is, her sassy mouth has started to come out.
